International Bead Award - Application

Join the international bead competition IBA!

Have fun and join! Beaders Best announces the second contest of the International Bead Award (IBA) 2012 to support the art of beadwork. The motto of this contest is POP ART. „Pop" stands for the english word „popular“. The suitablility of mass consume can be or turn to Art. Strong colors and shapes (two or three dimensional), a certain simplicity, a reference to everyday objects or free abstraction is all possible, also at the same time a smooth succession of objects. Trivial things become original and refreshing. Humor is very important!

An international jury manned by five carefully selected people will judge in 9 categories and assign first, second and third prices. All entries will be shown on the website of Perlen Poesie after the jury has finished voting. Website visitors will be able to vote among all these entries for the public award.

Your entry/entries should have not yet been/won in another contest nor published and preferably it should be made between August 2011 and December 2012 - BUT if it has never been published nor entered anywhere and is older than August 2011 it can still be entered here.

Registration deadline is December 31st, 2011. Entries which reach us after this date will be excluded.
